Monkey and Otters

Happy Friday!  I eventually did leave the Prairie Dogs to look at other animals.  :)  I spotted this adorable little monkey running through this giant willow tree as well as these lazy otters, sleeping together in a log.  :)

Sniffing Prairie Dog

This Prairie Dog was minding his own business when he seems to have smelled something offensive.  Haha!  I just love how the expression of his face changes.  :)

More Bickering Prairie Dogs

I started watching another group of Prairie Dogs after the first group scattered when the bickering started.  This group didn't last very long together before they also started bickering.  Haha!  I like the guy in the middle of the second picture that is trying to get the other two to stop fighting!  Haha!  :)

Bickering Prairie Dogs

I would have to say, I have never seen so many Prairie Dogs out of their tunnels being so active!  I think that is why I watched them for so long!  This little group was hanging out together, but then some of them starting bickering.  They are so cute!  :)

Black-Tailed Prairie Dogs

This next couple weeks will all be pictures that I took at Potawatomi Zoo in South Bend.  I have to say, I spent a long time watching these Prairie Dogs, because I love them so much!  I think this guy was being a sentinel, but the way he was standing reminded me of what I look like after painting my nails and trying not to mess them up while carefully checking to see if they are dry yet.  Hahaha!  :)

Tiger

I love tigers!  Happy Caturday!  And I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!  :)

Cockatiels

The bird house was also home to cockatiels!  They were pretty and very active!  My sister-in-law brought a stick with food on it and "caught" a cockatiel.  :)

Parakeets

I LOVED being in the bird house with all these BEAUTIFUL birds!  I really liked watching the parakeets!  They come in SO many bright, pretty colors!!  :)

Brown Bear Again

As I mentioned yesterday, I REALLY enjoyed watching this big brown bear as he was taking a stroll around his enclosure.  :)

Brown Bear

These are more pictures from the Washington Park Zoo in Michigan city!  I was able to see this big brown bear walking around his enclosure!  He was huge!  I was pretty mesmerized by him!  :)

Tigers

This beauty was sleeping for a while in the morning until he heard his breakfast coming.  He woke up really quickly!  Haha!  :)

Bobcat

Caturday should be everyday because there are so many awesome big cats!  I really like this beautiful Bobcat!  :)

Unusual Peacock

It seems like ever zoo has a bunch of peacocks that wander around throughout the place.  I always enjoy seeing them, especially when they spread their feathers.  I am used to seeing the blue and green peacocks and I have even grown accustomed to the all white ones.  However, I have never seen a peacock that is a mixture of the two the way this one was!  I really love the markings and coloration of this peacock!  What a beauty!  :)

Eagles Again

I know it is difficult to get a sense of how big Eagles are from just seeing pictures, but I am telling you, these are some intimidating birds!  Their beaks and falcons are huge, their eyes are intense, and their wing span is very impressive!  They are majestic creatures, and I felt very patriotic just looking at them!  Haha!  :)
